When Roseanne Grey jumps to her death on a cold December day, there's no apparent reason why - not even according to her psychiatrist. Detective Sergeant Darwin Grant is told to file the death as a simple suicide, but he's not so sure. For a start, why did a woman recovering from a road accident call out Roseanne's name as she came round, but later claim not to know her?
